Weak! Use your fist.

I'm plenty proficient with my fists, but I'm only gonna play fair if I think they'll do the same. If my sole objective is to take someone out, I'm gonna utilize any force multiplier I can get my hands on.

I can't think of a reason I would get into a fair fight.

Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Honor is an unwritten agreement with someone who plays by similar rules. That applies even when guns are involved. If I have reason to believe someone is not going to adhere to such rules, then I'm just gonna eliminate them as a threat in the quickest and most efficient way I have available to me. If I have a gun (or slingshot) drawn and can reasonably get off a shot before they are too close for that weapon to be effective, I will use the weapon. If for whatever reason a weapon is not practical (out of ammo, can't get to my holster because they've already closed the distance, shot obstructed by someone I don't consider to be expendable, etc.), then I'll happily let the elbows and knees start flying.

Why the difference?

Swords and weapons of the like are more in tune with martial arts. Plus a sword lacks the power of the gun, requires more trainig than a gun(not saying guns require no training mind you). A sword needs a little more thouh, swinging it alone won't help.

Well to me a gun is unhonorable to use, not to others mind you but to me. I am powerful, i can take down larger people, and i kick swiftly. To use a gun would show i am weak an unskilled, and that my power is useless. A gun to me says i lack the skill to fight, so when it comes to home defence , i wait and strike.
